Hans van Zijst@JonChevreau 🇨🇦 Too bad most Americans didn't do their research, and trusted Orange when he said the exporting countries would pay them.
Just like Mexico pays that expensive wall...
Carolyn@hans because of the wall, every single Spanky 2.0 voter KNEW he was talking out of his ass. He has had a track history of removing trade markets, hurting economy, wanting to destroy affordable health care…
@Carolyn That's why I still can't get my head around the fact that this grifter was elected a second time.
Everybody with more than 2 brain cells knew he was a liar, an open racist and misogynist, a fraudulent business man who had lost billions and a fucking convicted felon!
The alternative choice was a woman who had a history of serving society and no criminal record.
How on earth did the American people think that this orange mobster was the better choice?? 😱

@hans He stole it, as with so much in his life.
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@JonChevreau @hans No, he didn't. More people straight-up voluntarily voted for him than for Harris. It's that simple & it's somehow even more damning to America that the single thing in his entire ignoble life Trump got without cheating was the fucking presidency.
Mx. Chara Aznable (they/them) of Pnictogen@jwcph @JonChevreau @hans I really don't understand why there's so much irrational resistance to news about corruption and manipulation of voting in the United States. What's the point of PRETENDING that elections are always 100% fair and above board?
@mxchara @JonChevreau @hans Nobody said there was no manipulation of opinion - but there was no significant stealing of votes; the 50-odd attempts by MAGA to "find" votes in their favor would have revealed that.
So yes, there was SO MUCH! lying & information manipulation! - but people still voted for the convicted felon rapist pedo with a known history of being a fraud & a deeply corrupt 1st term & this was not some secret, disputable information passed around on illegally-printed flyers.
@jwcph @JonChevreau @hans ridiculous. to steal an election, you keep people from voting at all, and that's both easy to do and leaves no obvious trail of fakery. this has been an obvious Republican method since 2000 revealed their tricks to the world—not that the Democratic leadership seemed to care that much, because they all tamely accepted the illegitimate selection of Bush Jr. as legitimate once it was accomplished, and didn't even put up any significant resistance to the early deeds of his administration. The Dems were too interested in "healing" and "bipartisanship" and thus it was necessary to lull the American people back to sleep and perpetuate the illusion that the nation was still a functional democracy.
I guess a whole lot of people still cherish that illusion, and cling to it as a handy pretext for whingeing about strawman leftists being solely to blame for Republican fascism, as if decades of Democratic collaboration played no part whatsoever.
@jwcph @JonChevreau @hans And good GAWD what the fuck is continually whining about how people voted for Trump ACTUALLY ACHIEVING POLITICALLY?? That's the thing I'll never understand. Is some Democratic miracle supposed to ensue if their few remaining fans all get collectively pissy enough about how the people betrayed them?
@jwcph @JonChevreau @hans (oh and the great thing about stealing elections through purging of voter rolls and manipulating access to balloting and so forth is that the only visible result in the national press is a decline in apparent participation, which gives Democratic sycophants a perfect opportunity to whine about how people aren't voting like they should. It's a win-win! The Republicans win elections and the Democrats get to feel even more peevish and snottily superior to the American population.)
